27. New Friends (Ask for Collection)
Time passed quickly, and John's vacation career was about to pass.
Now there is only John in the school who is a special existence younger than his classmates, but fortunately, John has a cheerful personality and gets along well with his classmates, and he doesn't want to be close to people like Sheldon.
Due to the departure of the previous graduates, there are many new faces in the school.....
In the library, John is reading a book when suddenly a girl asks him for help finding some books on garden design.
"Hello John, my name is Julie Baker. I heard from everyone that if you want to find any books in the library, you can ask for help."
The girl, Julie Baker, greeted John generously....
John hadn't seen this girl, and she was probably a freshman in high school at the beginning of the year.
Otherwise, he wouldn't not know him, John looked at the girl in front of him with big eyes and shoulder-length hair...
"Yes, I'll help you find it. Those books are unpopular, are you interested or do you want to complete your academic assignments"
John put away the books in his hand, got up and went to the corner of the library to look for the books the girl wanted, and asked carefully why he borrowed them.......
"Thank you, my yard is a bit messy and I have no experience. So I want to borrow a book on garden design and tidying...."
Julie said gratefully...
John found a few books in the corner on how to trim the flowers and plants for sightseeing and design a fence for the home and handed them to Julie....
"Hello, my name is John. One of your girls also repairs turf and weeds by herself. What about your family? ”
Julie looked at John, who was so relieved, and felt funny, he was 3 years older than the boy in front of him.........
Julie is smart, well-behaved, and optimistic by nature. The family is in financial difficulties because of her uncle, but Julie is not inferior, she also keeps a few hens hatched by herself in the junior high school science competition in the backyard, because the hens lay eggs every day, and she also sells eggs to subsidize the family.....
Julie looked at the book that John handed over, and explained for fear that he would misunderstand
Recently, Julie was thrown away by Bryce, who she had a childhood crush, because she found out that she had given eggs to her neighbor's house opposite.
She was sad. Because they feel that their yard is messy, they dislike that their yard is dirty, so they dislike the eggs they give to their family.....
John listened to Julie....
"If you don't bother, I can help you. My brothers and I still know each other, and they've invited me to parties."
Julie's brothers love music and dream of forming a band and becoming singers. Because John can play the guitar well, he is also friends with them. Participated in a few parties and worked together......
Julie had heard about John from her brothers and said that there were 2 gifted children in their school. One went to college this year......
Bryce has been a little upset lately, and Julie, a neighbor and classmate who used to have a crush on since childhood, now stops talking to him.
You know, in the past, if Julie had ignored him, he would have been ecstatic.
The girl across the street from home has been harassing him since he moved to this town when he was 5 years old, from elementary school to junior high school, and now finally in high school, he is not in a class.
Because the other day she delivered eggs to her house as usual, Bryce had a bad impression of the neighbor's house across the street because of her father.
The yard of the neighbor's house was cluttered, so every time the eggs were delivered, they were thrown away. But the truth about the egg that Julie accidentally found out about being thrown away last time, Julie hasn't spoken to him recently.
You must know that Julie has liked to pester herself since she was a child, and she is not used to not talking to herself for a few days...
The other end.
John and Julie chatting... John also found out that Julie was a local celebrity....
It turned out that the local news station and local newspaper reported that she climbed the big tree and refused to come down in order to prevent a big tree from being cut down, and even the fire truck came..... Finally, she was persuaded by her father to go down the tree.........
Everyone was impressed with her...
Julie blushed in embarrassment. Explains:
"I love to climb that big number and sit there and watch the scenery for hours. I even get up early and climb up to watch the sunrise and sometimes the sunset. The color of the sun is different at different times....... That's my stronghold."
Julie recalled, with a little sadness on her face......
John silently took out the tissue he brought and handed it to Julie....
Julie took the tissue and nodded her head in thanks......
And so John and Julie became friends........
John and Julie made an appointment to help fix Julie's yard after school, and they both happened to be riding bicycles to and from school.......
Ding Ding Ding....
When the school bell rings, John and Julie ride their bikes together, and John says that he will go back to his house first to get the tools (John's turf and flowers are only taken care of by John, and the turf is done by a weeding machine) and change clothes.
The two then drove to Julie's house together.....
The two of them were holding pruning shears, and Julie looked a little struggling without using them. On the contrary, John is quite skilled (the boy has more strength, and he has used it at home)...
Looking at Julie, who was a little struggling, began to get a little impatient, and slashed with scissors. Suddenly, a voice came from behind:
"Do you cut branches or split branches? You can learn from this cowboy next to you."
An old man in a sunhat greeted Julie....
"Hello, I'm Czet Duncan, Bryce's grandfather. I'm sorry to say hello to you guys after so long."
Julie and John stopped what they were doing, and Julie greeted the old man Chaiter generously:
"Nice to meet you, I'm Julie"
"Hello, my name is John, a friend from Julie's school. Her seniors"
John greeted Chaiter in a serious manner.....
The old man looked at John incredulously.......
Obviously, John, who is about the same height as his grandson, is actually Bryce's senior.....
"Do you want to make them as high? These are mandia shrubs and are well groomed"
After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, he put on gloves and picked up pruning shears and began to tell the two to save effort, how to trim beautifully......
Julie looked at Chait, who was working, and whispered:
"Mr. Duncan, if you're sorry for Bryce's business, you don't have to help me"
John walked over to the bushes at the other end and gave the other party some personal space...
"I've read your story in the newspaper and you're a lot like her. Renee, she'll climb the tree and not come down like you. She was my wife, who passed away. ”
Chait said a little sadly.........
For the next 2 weeks, John and Julie would work with Bryce's grandfather, Chait, every day after school to help trim the bushes and turf. Even with the cooperation of Chaiter and John, Julie, the fence was laid out ....
The relationship between the three people also warmed up quickly, and they were familiar with each other. Working together..... The old man is very talkative and has taught 2 people a lot of life comprehension....
The three of them glanced at each other in the renovated courtyard and smiled tacitly.....
